we hope you set your dvrs so you'll never miss an episode of "hannity" it will be watching the president's speech sunday. we will talk about it monday. we will always be independent, we will never be the media mob. see you back here monday. thank you. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham and this is this is "the ingraham angle" on a very busy friday night. questions at a senate hearing rooted in science have critics smearing senator rand paul as transphobic. tonight, he's here and he'll respond paired struggling with the english language, joe biden tried out french. raymond arroyo tells us how that went on friday follies. but first, locking down the next election. that's the focus of tonight's angle. now under increasing pressure to justify the obscene and ongoing lockdown of the u.s. capitol

grounds, democrats try to paper over it this week with vague warnings about terrible things that could happen at the hands of terrible people. well, people who support trump, of course. the acting capitol police chief in a pathetic attempt to shift blame from their inadequate preparation claimed yesterday to have been briefed about troubling intelligence reports. >> members of the militia group present on january 6th had stated their desires that they wanted to blow up the capital and kill as many members as possible with a direct message to the state of the union. we think it's prudent that capitol police maintain enhanced and robust security posture until we address those vulnerabilities going forward. >> terry >> laura: agencies want billions of dollars to keep government and acceptable to the

people who actually pay the bill. you can bet that this is going to include systems and surveillance to monitor, track,, and harass law-abiding americans. as much as threat assessment, there is no reason the sows should not be made public now. you want to see them. first against the capital, against members of congress? they are nothing new, they've been around since i worked in government. by their amorphous reasoning, all of washington -- from now on, it should just be a military encampment where no citizen is allowed to go without special papers, special bedding, special permission. but we all know this is a charade. while democrats insist on serious fencing and barricades around their place of work, they are throwing open our southern border! so any migrant, any criminal, or frankly any terrorist who wants to illegally cross a southern border can of effectively waltz right in now.

but any american who just wants to bring their family to visit the capital or speak with a representative? it is treated like a terrorist. i was thinking today that they continue lockdown of capitol hill is kind of like the covid lock down with the moving goalposts, lack of any real metrics and vague warnings about potential danger down the -- >> this is a fox news alert. the u.s. has a representative voting on president biden's $1.9 trillion covert relief bill. fox news congressional correspondent chad pergram joins us live with the latest. >> good morning, ashley. the boat is still open but they have the votes to pass the bill. this is a sixth round of coronavirus relief the past 12 months, the $1.9 trillion measure dude reduce additional benefits due to expire in two weeks, also includes $1400 stimulus checks for americans

but also funds to help with the distribution of the vaccine peered but republicans argue that this was a bloated bill with democratic handouts. as i said, they are going to close this boat and just a moment or two. there are two democratic nos, jared goldman a moderate from maine and also kurt schrader, a moderate from oregon. the bill included an increase in the minimum wage to $15 an hour. but the wage hike doesn't qualify for the bill under special budget rules in the senate. they'll strip that out next week. at least two democrats, chris and cinnamon of arizona, and joe manchin of west virginia, opposed, including the wage increase in this bill. that may help democrats pass the bill eventually. but some democrats could balk when the bill goes to house of representatives. the house will have to align at some point with what the senate did. when i ask house speaker nancy pelosi if she expected any issue with the bill coming back to the house without the wage increase, she replied,

"no." democrats can only lose four members on their side to pass the final version of this bill. this could doom the legislation for president biden could hear is the timetable. the senate will debate the bell next bill next week, and that's when the extra unemployment benefits run out. they want to get this done before then. ashley? back to you. >> live for us early this morning for chad, thanks so much. of course we are going to be monitoring this throughout the night. keep it here with us. we are going to send it back to programming and you are watching "the ingraham angle." >> laura: if the democrats really cared about our security, really cared about it, they would not be trying to dismantle i.c.e. and pause deportations for months on end. but what's really galling is the very people who didn't read or act on the intel leading up to

january 6th, they now want to interpret it for us. >> we know the insurrection is who attacked the capital weren't only interested in attacking members of congress and officers. they wanted to send a symbolic message to the nation and who was in charge of that legislative process. >> laura: there is a symbolic message all right and it's coming from pelosi and schumer. those assault vehicles and troops are what you can be facing next year if you attend an anti-lockdown or a pro second amendment rally. oh, and you will be the next suspect in their domestic terror drama. and every opportunity from now on, g.o.p. members of congress have to start asking members of the biden the administration whether they believe that china or trump is a bigger threat to america. is it the ccp or the g.o.p. and its supporters that we should be

worried about? but maybe nancy pelosi has already answered that question. >> we have a the we have a domestic terrorism that's what he testified at the end of september. domestic violence taking more lives than international violence in this country. >> laura: the logical follow on to that, if the biggest terror problems are all here in the united states, why do we need so many troops in the middle east? and that's the angle. all right come and join me now is harmeet dhillon, civil rights attorney or an and ari fleischer, fox news contributor. harmeet, i know you spoken to conservatives all across the country who attended the trump rally on january 6th. they didn't storm the capital. but those people who were

peacefully assembling in washington, is it true they are now dealing with fbi raids, in some case being blocked from talking to counsel if they are detained? what's going on here? >> i've heard that. i've spoken to people to family members who reached out about fbi questioning, fbi dawn raids as if they are terrorists, the fbi seizing their digital records and even holding people incommunicado and not honoring request for counsel. what they are doing as they are arresting them all over the states where they live and in some cases transporting them en masse to d.c. what's disturbing at this like you said in your angle, laura, there seems to be no sense of proportionality, almost a deliberate attempt to criminalize a political act. some of these people who i believe engage in nonviolent protest at the capital are effectively being treated like political prisoners in our country and this is the type of

thing you see in other countries that our country criticizes. back 20 years ago i was one of the few conservatives who pointed out that the patriot act could one day be weaponized against united states citizens. 20 years later, that's exactly what's happening and we are now going to see the patriot act 2 being used to control our thought and criminalize any type of dissent with the government. this is truly shocking and a big divergence from our history. >> laura: it's telling people, ari fleischer, watch out. it looks like the fbi, certainly the democrats, implicit in all this is watch out. if you go to one of these rallies in the future, you might be, you know, surveying a drone, take a selfie and post it online, you may be dealing with letters from the fbi or being detained, or being questioned. that is... , if that's not a police state,

i don't know what is, ari >> that was what was done under j. edgar hoover and it led to a lot of liberals complaining about the heavy hand of justice. but the only justice i know, laura, we are all supposed to know, is that justice must be blind. any tactic that is used against those engaged in violence -- not protest, but engage in violence at the capital, are those same tactics also being used against those engaged in violence in the summer riots and the portland riots and the nightly seattle riots. the people who try to cake over federal courthouses in portland. are we going in as the fbi seizing their social media, using facial identification? i hope so. if you commit violence against united states, you should be subject to the law. if you are a peaceful poster, he should not be. but the aggressiveness used against the capital riders, needs to also be used on rioters on the other side.

>> laura: did we ever see that? blind justice, that blindfold has been thrown off. they are tweeting out photos of individuals, one yesterday look like a 13 or 14 year old girl. i don't know what she did if she did anything, i have no idea. but i do not recall, harmeet, that same type of flurry fbi, have you seen this person -- i don't recall seeing that last summer. i don't recall seeing that last season when portland was still burning. >> you don't recall it because it didn't happen, laura. not only that, our attorney general nominee equivocated and said the attacks on these courthouses at night are not the same thing as a tax on the capital during the daytime. first of all, the mesh majority of the people detained are not attackers, not violent, most of them did not even go into the building. we are talking about night and

day. there is no fbi manhunt for absolute terror reeking criminals in many american cities just in this past year. the double standard is striking, even for the violence. as to arresting nonviolent protesters who are protesting outside state capitals? it has never happened. we are seeing it happen in the united states today. can you imagine the chilling effect if you are a family member or anybody who knows these people -- >> laura: they are criminalizing the leaf. political thought is being criminalized. that's what's happening. and it's that terrifying -- anybody watching this show tonight should be very concerned about this trajectory that our country is on right now, okay? they do not want to debate their ideas, they didn't want to subject their ideas to the court of public opinion. they really do not want to do that. they want to prevent people from having rallies, from protesting the lockdown, protesting taxes,

abortion, any issue that requires activism on the conservative side, they want to bluff that by saying, you are all white super mrs.s. >> yep. this is the follow-up. when hilary said deplorable, we are now telling people that you are no longer entitled to your opinion in the heavy hand of justice starts to interfere. this is all part of cancel culture. the braves reporter out there that i see blowing the whistle on this is glenn greenwald. a principled liberal in the old-fashioned sense of a liberal has drawn the line between liberalism and the aclu power of free speech against the progressives. the progressives who want to drum people out of society and out of the air. this silence and movement is one of the scariest you can imagine in america. we need more liberals like glenn greenwald and u, laura, the

continue point this out. >> laura: i think every republican in congress will say that we will not fund this wall or fence or militarization of our capital for one more minute until you make public the supposed threat that you say are imminent that required the people from having no contact with the representatives going forward. i think all of that militarization of the u.s. capital, that's part of this whole dynamic, that they've got to push out there before 2022. harmeet and ari, phenomenal analysis as always. threats not coming from the deep state, but woke indoctrination efforts poisoning our education system. the oldest chinese-american association in the country is warning that the infiltration of critical race theory into our schools is reminiscent of mao's cultural revolution peer they are calling on parents to indoctrinate our kids. joining me now is chris rufo,

the directory chris, chairman mao believedthas necessary to affect the political change that he wanted for obviously china. >> yeah. what we are seeing in the united states is a similar effort, the idea of an economic revolution based on the lower classes rising up and overthrowing the bourgeoisie is something that didn't work in the 20th century. modern-day progressives and leftists say that we need to infiltrate the institutions of culture and if we can change the culture, if we can destroy the history of the united states, then we can bring about this utopia. luckily, chinese americans who survived and fled the cultural revolution in their home country are fighting to make sure it doesn't happen here. >> laura: what's interesting, a lot of people have missed this, is that china is now using the language of the left, okay?

they are actually talking about the axis of white supremacy in calling out the five eyes countries, the english speaking countries, for holding them accountable. saying china has accused australia of being part of an axis of white supremacy because of our intelligence alliance with canada, new zealand, united kingdom, and the united states. so the gangsters in the english-speaking nations are now white super misses. you see how they are interweaving the language of the left into their own global outreach? >> yeah. we live in this bizarre moment where the contemporary left is using the rhetoric of the chinese cultural revolution from 50 years ago. the cpc today is adapting the rhetoric of the american left. denouncing the west as white supremacists. we know that the international socialist and marxist left

adopted to bash the united states. i firmly stand against the cpc and i hope our friends on the other side will do the same. >> laura: where are the liberals are urging the boycott for the beijing olympics question what they are human rights activists except when they are not. if china is against trump, the left has to be against china. something like that. michelle goldberg wrote an op-eds physically targeting you, chris, in your effort saying the right, for all its chest beating, the value of entertaining dangerous notion is rarely interested in debating the tenants of critical race theory. it wants to eradicate them from public institutions. chris, you are of afraid of debating critical race theory? i can't believe that. >> that's categorically false. i'll issue a challenge to any prominent critical race theory is, i'll debate you on the floor of "the new york times" building itself. i will never be scared of

debate. i will dismantle them. so, mrs. goldberg, she stands by her gone, she should organize us immediately or the truth will be out that actually it's the other side, crinkle race theory is who refused to put their bankrupt ideas out into the public for scrutiny. they hide behind institutional power and organizations like "the new york times." we expose them and i look forward to it. >> laura: michelle goldberg, come on pier the water is warm on "the ingraham angle." debate mr. rufo, make it fair for you get your time, he gets his time, we'll let the viewers decide. great to see you tonight. you look casual with the t-shirt. i like it. looks good. very "miami vice." engaging in a line of signs back hearing at a hearing yesterday, senator rand paul was labeled transphobic. the senator is here to respond next, plus a message for dr. fauci. stay there.

dr. levine, do you believe that minors are capable of making such a life-changing decision such as changing one's sex? >> thank you for your interest in this question for transgender science is diverse field -- >> do support the government overriding the parents consent to give a child puberty blockers, cross hormones, or invitation surgery of general tenia ?>> i would be pleased to come o your office and talk with you and your staff about the standards of care and the complexity of this field. >> let it go to the record that the witness refused to answer the question. i find it nuts that they left going over hydro cox corwin are not alarmed that these mormons are being used off label >> laura: for that

scientifically accurate line of questioning, senator rand paul became public enemy number one over at the table. >> rand paul with an interesting coherent ideology lately has been spending his days trafficking right-wing conspiracy theories, lobbing transphobic questions. >> do you know who's the actual worse? kentucky senator rand paul of course but insulting your fellow human who is trans is a republican requirement. >> laura: here now to respond, the senator himself rand paul. from the great state of kentucky. i thought they were supposed to be the party of science, but her answer to you was, well, dr. paul, it's too complex for you to understand what's going on here. >> the thing is a lot of people voted for middle-class joe biden, he supposed to have these middle-class and working-class values but my guess is none of them realize that he's going to appoint

someone so extreme as to believe a minor can make a life altering decision to change their, even overriding the parental consent. i think they could do it with no parental consent, but i think she would do it if the parent said no and the kid said yes. she's also on record as saying, yeah, if they are street kids, we'll do it even sooner. think about what that even means. that means a homeless child who has had a rotten childhood or no parents or has a mental illness themselves, she's willing to do this exchange even quicker. they did a survey of these sects change surgeons, over half of them have operated on people under 18. this is not a wild question, this is a real question and they give the hormones that change the sex between the ages of 14 and 16, that is a crime against nature and it's also something that should require parental consent. >> laura: you actually cannot

change somebody's sex. that's scientific falsehood. your dna is her dna, correct? >> you can change their sexual secondary characteristics. >> laura: that's not changing your sex. a new gallup poll, is very interesting. it shows that there has been a fairly significant generational shift when it comes to identifying as lgbtq, it's now generation z, apparently 15.9% identify as lgbt, among millennials, it's 9.1%, generation x, 3.1%. i we supposed to believe that this is a natural shift? or are external factors including social media, the internet, and so forth having an effect here?

>> the story of keira bell from england is an interesting one. 14, was confused, she read online about transsexuals and you thought this is maybe what i am. they encourage sure that that's what she was bit i don't know if anybody discouraged her from that. they encouraged her from that. she had a chemical transformation and then she had a double mastectomy and she's now 23. she fears she is infertile she's very unhappy, and she feels as if she was misled and sort of by social pressure made to think that this was the right answer for her and she's very unhappy. in england, they've changed it now pure they are requiring more parental consent than they used to and in our country we are going the opposite way. i think it's an important question. the media, at least the left-wing media completely missed the question here, i've worked in emergency rooms. couldn't do anything unless you

were resuscitating, we did nothing without the parent's consent. >> laura: taking hormone blocking medicines, that's okay prebut ear piercing, you need your parents consent. i want to move on to another medical issue. with all the covid cases, senator paul, plummeting and vaccines on the market, dr. fauci doesn't quite want you getting your life back yet. >> there is a tendency given that the deflection of the curve is down, to get back to a situation where you are approaching normal. but we really have to be careful. we are at that very precarious position that we were right before the fall surge where anything could perturb that could give us another surge. we don't want to be people always looking at the dark side of things but you want to be realistic. >> laura: senator, there's always this vague threat that,

you know, it's all meant to suppress us or keep us down or it might come back, there might be a new variance. what is going on with the constant goalpost shifting? >> they don't want to argue any of your freedom, any of this normalization and there are a lot of people now predicting that the curve downwards is so steep and the curved upward being steep, we could be out of this in a few weeks to a month. i know it sounds optimistic, but he's saying, might get it if you have the vaccine to give it to other people. the thing is they do not prove that that happens. they say that unless you prove the opposite, you need to be huddled in your basement wearing a mask. you get the if you are a have the disease, do nothunker y

yourself. go to school, let's get back to normal. let's treat this with circumspection, the idea that the risks should be according to the individual, the free society, each individual much likely with older people, everyone should adjust their behavior according to that. >> laura: lockdowns don't work. they don't work. they don't stop the virus. it just prolongs their immunity appeared we see it happening again, the party of science doesn't want to go there. thank you for asking hard questions. miss levine, i think it was necessary and it opened a lot of people's eyes and the fact you got all that grief for it told us that you cut clearly close to the core. and lady gaga's dog snatching takes a political turn and biden tried his hand at french.
